Soya marinated tofu with guacamole, "cacon" and pasta

Due to a barbie on the camp site that was covered in meaty left overs, I decided to skip using it and fry the tofu we bought instead (but let's still call it BBQ-night, it just sounds so much cooler).
 The tofu was pretty easy to make. I just made a marinade with soy sauce, loads of garlic, a little Dijon mustard and black pepper. 

Anywho, the Iranian New Years dinner turned out to become a very multi cultural one, with Japanese soy marinated tofu, Mexican guacamole, Italian pasta and North American facon, or cacon - a tasty fake bacon, made out of carrots!

Cacon - the vegan carrot-bacon
For 2 people


You'll need:
2 large carrots
Olive oil
Salt
Pepper

Make it:
Use a potato peeler for the carrots to slice them up with, so you get plenty of thin strips.
Cover a frying pan with olive oil on high-medium heat. Add the carrots and salt and pepper. Fry until the carrots are on the edge of being burned. Put the carrots on paper towels, to get rid of some of the oil. Ready to eat! 

This is so easy and yummy, and sometimes I have it on top of a hummus sandwich, as a side dish or in a salad.
